Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: cnc/copy mill teach

Hello Art
Thanks for the tip.Thats what I needed..I setup Mach3 and gave it a try and indeed that teach wizard will work perfect..But the Teach wizard dont care to suffer fools and mis-poking something out of proper sequence as I keep stumbling through it , I end up having the computer lockup...But it's worth some more study...I'll get it going right eventually...... I never did read any post anywhere where it stated the objectives desired in Mach3 to be improvements over Mach2...Would you mind telling us briefly , what be the advantage of Mach3 over Mach2? Cause I just been playing with Mach2 getting familiar with it and I think it's awesome.--so to this relative newbie I cant see how you can improve on it.

Hi Steve:

Try downloading MAch3, it will share your computer with Mach2. So you can
just run it for the Teach Wizard if you like. The teach wizard even
displayes a toolpath of the Gcode as you get your points. Let me know if you
run into any confusion, its pretty easy to use though, you just jog to the
first point, then hit fedto, then the next point, repeat. If its an arc, you
tell it and it will request you go to another point on the arc. The
direction of the arc and such is automatically figured out, the toolpath
will show you the trigger or whatever your tracing as you go.. Its in the
Wizards button on the main screen in Mach3... No license required to run
it, so you can generate 1000 lines or so for each part...

Thanks,
Art
